Chapter 751 Ambition

For Chen Zuyi, a pirate who was traversing across the South China Sea, the catastrophe suddenly came. It was just because the Ming Dynasty fleet came to Nanyang, but because he did not do anything according to the will of the Ming envoy.

Now he was imprisoned in a cage, his men fled in scattered, or had lost their lives. And more people were caught, some were rectified, and some were imprisoned like him.

Some small countries in Nanyang that used to dare not stroke their tiger beards seemed fierce and harsh at this time, and would not show any mercy to those fleeing pirates. It can even be said to be even more cruel because they all knew that Chen Zuyi had been destroyed.

For Ma Sanbao, the extermination of Chen Zuyi was one of his responsibilities. He led a huge fleet to sea and promoting national prestige was the most important task. The best way to promote national prestige was to use a war to show the strength of the Ming army.

Although Chen Zuyi was a pirate, these pirates were indeed a domineering South China Sea, leaving countless South China Sea countries helpless. But so what? In front of the Ming Dynasty, these seemingly powerful pirates were still just ants and were still wiped out by the Ming Dynasty in a flash of their fingers.

This is the best way to promote national prestige, allowing the countries in the South China Sea to intuitively feel the power of the Ming Dynasty.

Furthermore, it is to wipe out these powerful pirates. Although the Ming Dynasty caravans would not allow the Ming Dynasty caravans to travel freely, it is indeed an extra guarantee. A small group of pirates dare not easily attack the Ming Dynasty caravans, and a large group of pirates would have to consider whether they could compare to Chen Zuyi.

This can be regarded as a killer to scare the monkey. These things are what Ma Sanbao should do.

When the huge fleet of the Ming Dynasty arrived at the old port, Shi Jinqing and others immediately stepped forward to greet him. Liang Daoming, the king of the New Three Buddhas, also hurriedly brought his minister Zheng Bo and the Chinese living in Southeast Asia to pay their respects.

There are quite a few Chinese in Nanyang, who sail, do business, reclaim land here, etc., and the number of people is actually not small.

The current Chinese people from the Three Buddhas of the New World are fighting for warmth and resisting the invasion of Manzhe Boyi. They now also need to establish more contacts with the powerful Ming Dynasty, which may be considered as an additional guarantee.

As for tribute or surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, it seems that there is no psychological barrier for some people. For example, Liang Daoming, even though he went to Nanyang to make a living in the early years, he was also worried about returning to his roots.

If you can get a position of one or half of the Ming Dynasty through such achievements in the Three Buddhas, there will be no problem. At that time, it will be a glorious, and in the end it will be to make a living. If you can get a position of one or half of the time, you will be proud and shining your family.

As for some territory in Nanyang, Liang Daoming is actually very clear about it. This is a small fight. Although more and more Chinese people are joining each other now, they cannot fight against Manzhe Boyi.

The Ming Dynasty was more stable. If it could have an official position and receive a salary from the court, Liang Daoming would not have hesitated. Going home to be a rich man and a nobleman with an official position was better than taking a group of people to resist the invasion of barbarians in Nanyang.

The so-called New Three Buddhas Kings had nothing to nostalgic for him, mainly because he was like occupying the mountain and becoming the king.

These can probably be considered as having their own ambitions. Some people think about their own foundation. Even in some remote places, they can be considered as being a rooster head rather than a phoenix tail. They are at least "people are the best".

But some people think that if they can return to their hometown with a glorious atmosphere, that is the biggest pursuit. Isn’t it just to be able to return to their hometown with a glorious atmosphere? Isn’t it just to be able to comfort their ancestors?

The fallen leaves return to their roots, and these are also the pursuits of many people outside. They wander for half their lives and are also thinking about returning to their hometown after death.

Even if Ma Sanbao is in glory now, I believe that at this time, not only Liang Daoming and others are full of awe of him, but other foreign countries in Nanyang will soon receive this news, and they will inevitably be afraid of the power of the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, through this war, you can be considered as a mission to your Majesty and prove your ability to do things. On the fleet, you can also make those arrogant soldiers respect him, rather than just obeying the will of the court in the initial stage.

These are very realistic things, everything needs to be spoken by fists, or to be respected by others through ability and ability. Other things may not be that easy.

Even if Ma Sanbao has initially gained some convictions, he was nominal commander in this battle. It seems that he is no longer a eunuch who is favored by His Majesty, but a eunuch with some abilities.

These things can also be said to be very realistic, but they are indeed very useful. Especially for Ma Sanbao, who has a physical incomplete body, he cares more about everyone's respect and His Majesty's trust. If he can achieve something, he will be considered as a lifelong failure.

Is Ma Sanbao so full of energy? Zhu Yunyou naturally doesn't know these things. He just wants to manage the Ming Dynasty well. These are his jobs, and this is the responsibility of an emperor.

There are still many things waiting for him to deal with now. As an emperor, he will definitely be idle. Even if there is a cabinet helping him deal with some things, in such a beautiful country, something happens every day, and these things need to be dealt with by the emperor.

Some things may be small, but they can be considered very easy to deal with, and it is not difficult to make decisions. However, some big things are not that easy, and they also need to discuss with the nobles in the court.

For example, Fu Youde, this guy seems to have realized something later. Or that some of his previous plans have not been realized, he is now planning to find another way, thinking about finding a new way to break the deadlock.

"Your Majesty, I often noticed that the imperial military system was insufficient when I went to Goryeo this time." Fu Youde was also very straightforward and said, "This time, Your Majesty's major revision of the yellow book has made many military households unable to support it."

When talking about this, Zhu Yunyou became serious because he knew what Fu Youde said was very reasonable.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty was the Weishou system, and the concept came from the military system of the Sui and Tang dynasties. In essence, the implementation of the Weishou system must have a set of household registration systems that can ensure the number of troops to maintain the operation of the Weishou system.

The source of military households in the Ming Dynasty is the original military households in the Yuan Dynasty, and the other is the household of active-duty military personnel. Moreover, military households are hereditary and have strict management, and it is very difficult to remove them. Generally speaking, unless the households are completely separated, some people in the family become high-ranking officials or are exempted by the emperor's orders, they cannot be removed from the military.

Now Zhu Yunyou plans to change some policies and have to spend acres of money, which also means that some ordinary people can get rid of a lot of pressure. For those military households, they must be moved.

Although the management of military households has always been relatively strict, even during the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were actually some fugitives. Some people could not bear the hereditary military household identities.

Furthermore, in these years, some trends of peace in the world seem very obvious. Therefore, some officials of the garrison have also begun to be corrupt and abuse the law, and some things can be used to treat military households as their own slaves.

Although the court did severely punish such a phenomenon, and some generals were unlucky because of this. However, it has to be said that although this phenomenon is not a common phenomenon, it is indeed becoming more and more obvious. After all, it has become so peaceful that many people's pursuits are different.

In the past, the chiefs of those garrisons, except for those garrisons that had farmed, many garrison generals still had to train troops.

But now it’s different. These guards are concerned about more land and more income. Things like training and preparation for war seem to be getting farther and farther away from them, and it seems that there is no big deal about them.

I haven't fought for a long time and I don't need to go to war for a long time. This is not on the border. Frequent training is meaningless. It's better to live a comfortable life. This is the most down-to-earth and beautiful thing.

Zhu Yunyou also knew that the Governor's Office of the Five Army actually had such information.

But it seems that there are really not many ways. After all, there are no places in some inland areas that need military use for the time being.

Zhu Yunyou became serious at this time and listened carefully to some of the situation reported by Fu Youde. Of course, he also needed to pay more attention to the garrison. Even if there was no major military operation now, no matter what, he should not forget to prepare for war. There must be no matter how swords and guns are put into the warehouse.

What should be supervised must be supervised, and what should be improved also needs to be improved. The emergence of some new policies will inevitably change some of the original pattern. What's more, the accumulation of acres seems to be a bit restrictive of restricting land mergers, which will liberate some of the productivity.

However, such policies also greatly undermined the original Yellow Book system of the Ming Dynasty, and it would be impossible not to admit this.

Zhu Yunyou didn't plan to pretend to be deaf and didn't feel that he had to wait until the situation was corrupt before paying attention to these things.

Zhu Yunye was listening patiently, but gradually he felt something was wrong. The meaning of a veteran Fu Youde was actually very simple.

He didn't really question what was wrong with the Qiwei Office system. At this time, he just hoped to give the Five Army Governor's Office greater power. Speaking of the Five Army Governor's Office, to some extent, the Ministry of War was also restricted by the Ministry of War. After all, the Ministry of War was in charge of military guards, local officials selected and taught military systems, training, recruitment, garrison, border defense and other military administrations.

Moreover, when going to war, officials often supervise the army to war, which is also a restriction on the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Even if the Governor's Office of the Five Army does not take the Ministry of War seriously, the Ministry of War seems to be just helping the Governor's Office of the Five Army to do odd jobs, but at least it is a restriction.

Fu Youde just wanted to kick the Ministry of War away completely so that the Governor's Office of the Five Army was fully in charge of military affairs. What he was looking forward to was the period of the Governor's Office in the early years, when the military power was even more powerful.

Zhu Yunyou almost laughed. Lao Zhu was worried that the Grand Governor's Office was too heavy and that the Five Army Governor's Office was split. Lao Zhu was worried that the Martial Honor would not be defeated, so he was only in the early years that he had a reputation of being wicked and punished some Martial Honors, and also used the Ministry of War to restrict the Five Army Governor's Office.

But now, Fu Youde simply asked Zhu Yunyou to reverse the car, and even gave Wu Xun greater power.

Zhu Yunyou would definitely not allow such a thing, and Fu Youde was dreaming in the daytime. This guy may have some political wisdom, but it seems that his political wisdom is relatively limited.

Or Fu Youde just pretended to be honest and made a suggestion that the emperor would not be adopted at all. If it is rejected at that time, then it will be second to the next best, so that there is a greater chance of being adopted by the emperor.

These are really possible. Fu Youde still seems to have some of his tricks.

Zhu Yunyou couldn't help laughing, and looked at Fu Youde and suddenly asked, "Duke Ying, I remember that Fu Rang was also a great guard in the palace in the early years, and a tall and burly man. I also said earlier that the princess should marry another one after the death of the emperor."

Fu Youde was clever in his heart. His eldest son Fu Zhong was the son-in-law, and his grandson Fu Yan was also the son of Princess Shouchun.

Fu Youde immediately said, "Your Majesty, the dog son has no intention of marrying another person."

"It's okay to ask him to marry a mate." Zhu Yunyou said gently, "But Fu Yan is the son of the prince, and his uncle is now the prince. Is that right?"

Fu Youde naturally understood the emperor's meaning. The title of Duke of Ying could only be passed to Fu Zhong, or to Fu Yan. Therefore, in recent years, there were people in Fu Zhong's room, which was not justified and even dared not be pregnant. Now that he could have a lateral ward, it means that Fu Zhong could continue to have children.

But no matter what, Fu Yan's status cannot be shaken, which is the emperor's bottom line.

This was a bit of a chat, and it seemed to be a kind of kindness to Fu Youde, which can be regarded as the treatment that Fu Youde should have. After all, Fu Youde made great contributions, and this is something that no one can deny.

But after leaving Wuying Palace, Fu Youde smiled helplessly. The emperor gave him a pass, and he didn't give him any correct words.

But thinking about it, my eldest son can marry a relative in a legitimate manner, is also a kind of grace. Seeing my many children and grandchildren and the flourishing branches and leaves of the Fu family, this is also a kind of expectation from Fu Youde.

But the more Fu Youde thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. It would be enough to mention these things as soon as Fu Zhong was mentioned, and it would be enough to mention Fu Yan. His Majesty had specially mentioned the "youngest son" Fu Rang. Is there any other reason for this?

Fu Youde dared not underestimate Dang's scheming, because he knew that Dang's scheming was very scheming since childhood.

I have to go back to the mansion and ask quickly. Your Majesty will definitely not mention Fu Rang for no reason. After all, Fu Rang is the third son of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion outside, and he seems to have some identity.

It’s just that such an identity is not even worth remembering in front of the emperor.
